I don’t make people tell me “Happy Birthday” a month beforehand. I don’t feel hurt that other people have birthdays the same day as mine.
I’m also pretty sure my own ego is more fragile than that of Jesus.

Odd, didn’t God smite millions among the various peoples in the OT, amongst them the entire human race save Noah and his family? Eh, small deal, maybe you forgot about them and that part of the Bible?

Stay in the basement and live the life you chose.

I agree, so I do not pick and choose – I serve one master – the Lord Jesus Christ. I serve Him by way of the Church His apostles began, but I never sell God short. I truly believe that with God, all things are possible. So, do you really stone someone who mows their yard on the Sabbath? (Numbers 15:32-36), or stone your child if they are disobedient and do not listen to you? (Deuteronomy 21:18-21), or kill your child if they should curse you? (Exodus 21:17 and Leviticus 20:9).

I am not questioning your faith and I would never judge you, there is obviously a difference in our beliefs. I believe, like a recipe, you can’t choose to use the ingrediants you want and leave the rest out, the bible is the same way, it is God’s Word, we don’t get to choose what we will or won’t follow. if it fits into our comfort zone. Can’t serve two masters. Peace

And you don’t get to question my faith. I am very much a follower of Christ, and you do not get to judge that.

Apparently you are not clear on evolution if you think humans evolved from apes. I am Catholic, and here is a part of the Catechism of the Catholic Church “302 Creation has its own goodness and proper perfection, but it did not spring forth complete from the hands of the Creator. The universe was created “in a state of journeying” (in statu viae) toward an ultimate perfection yet to be attained, to which God has destined it. We call “divine providence” the dispositions by which God guides his creation toward this perfection” My church does not view the Bible as inerrent other than what we need for our salvation. We believe that the Creation accounts in scripture are there to tell us about who we are and what our relationship to the creator is, not to tell us how and when God created the universe. Of course we believe that God created the universe, but we also believe he created the process by which species evolved and the survival of the fittest. I believe that God used the Bible to teach me how to get to heaven, not how the universe was made.

His Word is quite clear as to how we, and everything we see, got here, he created it. God’s Word says that he spoke everything into existence, he created something from nothing, if you are a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus, you either belive it or you don’t. You don’t get to mix it with the ideas of the world, nor are we to conform to this world. We are in the world, but not of it. Peace

I am tototaly clear on what evolution is. I am also crystal clear as to what the Fathers Word says in regard to creation. I have found nothing, in any text, in any language, where the Father speaks of evolution. With that being said, if you are a Christian, then what doctrine due you follow? The Word is perfectly clear on this subject. The Word also cautions not to add to or take away from, his Word. We can’t serve two masters, Christ does not teach evolution.

That is a little different from the way I was taught.

Heaven’s sakes. There is absolutely no reason that theology and evolution cannot both be right. You seem to sell God pretty short if you do not believe that He had the power to set in motion all those things of science, including evolution. Why shouldn’t He have a little help in creation?
